What graffiti we remove in Maida Vale

Graffiti comes in many forms and in Maida Vale you might encounter a few different styles on a single building. Here are the main types we routinely remove with our safe and effective methods.

Traditional graffiti

Traditional graffiti includes spray paint tags throw ups and larger murals that have not been specially protected. On brick render metal timber and stone surfaces traditional graffiti can be stubborn especially when the paint has soaked into the substrate. We use a combination of gentle chemical cleaners and mechanical methods to lift paint off without stripping the surface. Our aim is to remove the graffiti and restore the original colour and texture of the surface wherever possible.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is a more serious problem often seen on brick or stone surfaces where an acid solution has etched permanent marks into the substrate. This is not simply paint that can be wiped away. It requires careful treatment to remove the discoloration without causing additional damage to the surface. We have proven processes for acid etched graffiti that restore the look of the surface and prevent further deterioration.

Posters and sticker infestations

In busy Maida Vale streets posters and stickers can accumulate on signage walls and windows. We can remove these without leaving sticky residue or damaging delicate surfaces. We exfoliate adhesive residues and ensure signage and brickwork look clean again.

Graffiti on glass and metal surfaces

Glass doors windows and metal panels can be particularly tricky because certain methods can cause smearing or scratching. Our technicians are trained to select the correct product and technique for each material. The result is a clean glass or metal surface without clouding or hazing and with no risk to the underlying material.

Tagging and vandalism

Neighbourhoods like Maida Vale occasionally see tagging and vandalism that can be costly to correct if left untreated. We approach tagging with a focus on rapid removal and prevention. In many cases we can offer advice on protective coatings that make future graffiti removal faster and simpler.

Our approach and what makes Maida Vale graffiti removal different

To achieve consistently high results we follow a straightforward process that respects the surface and the surroundings. Our method combines proven cleaning techniques with industry leading safety practices and transparent communication.

On site assessment

When we arrive at your Maida Vale property we perform a quick yet thorough assessment. We identify the type of graffiti the substrate the level of staining and any risks to surrounding plants or property. This initial survey helps us determine the right cleaning solution and the most effective application method. We will explain what we plan to do and how long it will take before we begin.

Cleaning methods and equipment

We use a layered approach that balances efficacy with surface safety. Depending on the job we may employ:

• Solvent based cleaners that break down spray paint and inks
• Water based eco friendly cleaners for sensitive surfaces
• Non abrasive mechanical tools for lifting and scraping where needed
• Pressure washing for exterior brick and render surfaces
• Thermal or steam cleaning for stubborn residues
• Specialty chemicals for acid etched surfaces with controlled application

All products we use are selected for safety and environmental considerations. We follow current regulations and industry best practices to protect plants wildlife and nearby occupants while removing graffiti quickly.

Safety and environmental considerations
